    Smart Motion Detection (SMD) and Video Detection Region

    Palemoon on Mac can't even bring up the feed. The feed window just spins, so no way to set IVS.

    Smart Motion Detection (SMD) and Video Detection Region

    Damn, that really sucks. So either have SMD on the entire FOV, standard motion detection on the area you select, or IVS tripwire/parked car/etc? Will try now. 5442 IR

    Smart Motion Detection (SMD) and Video Detection Region

    Also interested. I read elsewhere people saying to use IVS and tripwire instead of SMD, but 1) I have a Mac and the line functions don't seem to set in safari/chrome, and 2) why buy cameras advertised as having these features?

    Synology with Dahua SMD 3.0

    Hey, did you get an answer to these questions? The Synology compatibility list is either outdated or doesn't support many newer cams.

    Another new build thread: Need help with locations/cams

    I think I'll just go with @EMPIRETECANDY 's T2431T for all locations, in a variety of 2.8 & 3.6mm. These are 4MP and I feel thats good enough for my small property and needs? I'll have a motion sensor flood light on the garage anyway, and a small ceiling-mounted motion sensor to activate the...

    Perfect info. Thank you! Is there a calc for this kind of info with different FLs? Thanks. As its a fresh build, and wiring must be done during build, I cant easily test mount and view input. By the sounds of this thread, eave/ceiling mounted may be too high and I should be considering wall...

    Another new build thread: Need help with locations/cams

    Thanks for these suggestions and for the greeting! I should have mentioned the house location is in a fairly safe suburb in Australia. I do take your feedback seriously, but I also dont want to spend $ for the sake of it. One crap thing about our builder, is they wont just run cables or...

    Another new build thread: Need help with locations/cams

    Hey mate, thanks. I've been using that calculator, but I will have to draw the walls to take another look. I was keeping blind spots in mind, as I was placing everything around 9 foot high and not needing to see 100m in the distance. I would definately not mount higher unless for a good reason...

    Another new build thread: Need help with locations/cams

    Hi all, Long time lurker. Finally made an account. I am building a 2 story home and would like to install some perimeter cams. I was thinking of using a synology box (like DVA3221) to record low frame rate streams, and upon person detection (using its AI), record high frame rate streams for...
